A Whole New Canine Treat: Dog-friendly Holidays in the UK

If you’re an avid dog-lover or even a self-confessed pet parent, then you know the importance of positive reinforcement in fostering that special bond between you and your furry canine friend. However, instead of giving delicious and nutritious treats for your pooch, we’d suggest giving them a treat that will help them feel really special. Our recommendation? Bring them to any of these dog-friendly holiday destinations in the UK.

Set in a beautiful Cornish courtyard, elegantly manicured to welcome you and your furry friend, the Old Coach features a double bedroom complete with an open living area where bonding moments with 2 of your pets can be shared.
